Excerpt: “Meditation is when no one does nothing. But to get to the point of realizing you are no one requires absolute focus on the consciousness that is seeking to discover its own essence, and discovers only Emptiness. But in that discovery, the conditions of existence are altered through the slowing down of metabolic processes and of thought processes that in turn slow down time and enable a deepening of awareness to attain the source of the very will to know the Self, and to melt back into that original eternal Self.” Recorded on the morning of Tuesday, March 15, 2016.

Excerpt: “Arjuna is the archetype of the spiritual warrior. But the war that is fought is the war against the illusion that there is a war. The spiritual warrior knows that there is no one to fight; there is no conflict except one’s own mind. And Arjun is Ajat, unborn, and to the one who knows there is no birth, there can also be no death, and thus there can be no suffering, and there can be no gain and no loss.

The spiritual warrior is one who is in resonance with Krishna, the avatar, the embodiment of that absolute spiritual knowledge that is also power, and that appears as compassion, and wisdom, and moral strength.” Recorded on the morning of Wednesday, July 8, 2015.
